Tongue pain
I have a semi large white bump on the side of my tongue. It is very painful and I think it's also swollen. My throats hurts, my mouth stays dry and no matter how many times I brush my teeth and mouth , my mouth tastes odd.

hello,
the bump on the tongue could be an ulcer. you can add a pinch of baking soda in water and rinse with it. this will help to heal the ulcer. if it still persists, you need to consult a physician and get your Vitamin B levels checked. if required, take supplements for it.
